1965 Map of Davis Island
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
The dramatic meanders of the Mississippi River dominate this mid-century landscape, carving out a complex geography of cutoffs, chutes, and points along the Louisiana-Mississippi border. A powerful reminder of the river's history is the Winter Quarters Crevasse May 4, 1927, marking the site of a breach from the Great Mississippi Flood. The town of Newellton and the surrounding plantations are protected by levees and flood gates, while the river's old path is traced by oxbows like Lake St Joseph, Lake Bruin, and Palmyra Lake.
